Lol he's probably one of the most verbally convincing coaches in the league. He's a salesman of the best kind. Apparently he's amazing in playoff hockey for getting people jazzed up for war.
So great that Maurice actually gives thoughtful and insightful answers. No cliches, constant content. Such an impressive speaker. Wish more coaches were like Maurice and actually were worth listening to.
I like how he puts great thought into each and every question before answering. To me, this shows respect to his audience-in this case, the media. He obviously wants to give meaningful answers. He’s very personable. This is the first time I’ve watched him in a press conference. I’m really impressed.
Met Paul years ago when he was coaching Toronto; absolute class and a fantastic human being, stopped and talked with me, took a picture, made you feel like he genuinely cared.. He's got the Panthers playing amazing hockey, going to be an exciting round vs. the Canes!
Wish we had him coaching the leafs. Should of kept him when we had him and give a chance instead of firing after 2 seasons. Good luck in the third round Paul. Classy guy for sure.
From a Ducks fan, to all of the fans of South Florida, congratulations to you and your team on making it to the conference finals. Go get the Hurricanes, and make it to the cup final. Love from Alabama.
as a leaf fan and the fact that Paul coached our team, i am really happy for him. He left Winnipeg and knew he wasnt the right coach, NOW, he is living the dream and earned this. Well done
I'm a Winnipeg Jets fan, and I'm glad Paul Maurice is once again coaching a winning team. This is the 2nd time in a few years his team made it to the final four. I'm no Florida fan, but definitely a Maurice fan. He deserves this.
Dubas hiring all his buddies from the Greyhounds was such a mistake. This is the highest level in the world, and it shows when you watch how a guy like Keefe coaches versus Pomo and Cooper. Two different galaxies.
When he coached Canadian teams he always seemed tense and guarded, but now he looks healthy relaxed and very happy with himself, hats Paul good job you deserve this
It's the media. They're ruthless, especially in Toronto. Playing for and coaching Florida is so low pressure in comparison that the players and coaches can just have fun, and it shows.
I say this with love but nobody really cares about hockey that much in Florida. Its a healthy place to just enjoy the game without the extra pressure Canadian media puts on you.
@@VideosNoOne Not as much as football, but acting as if there's 5k people at the games is disingenuous. Lightning have the longest sellout streak in the league.
@@Wayf4rer never talked about having 5k people at the games. Its just that the heat are still playing. Its nothing like Toronto. Barkov can walk in the streets and nobody will know who he is
He coached the underachieving jets to this level of intensity, but the players plateaued & floated. Panthers are his kind of team, self motivated, hard working, tough, cover each others back, willing to learn & adapt. Miss him.
Good for Paul Maurice, that's a class act,, he's not a statistics, believer, he's a work hard ethic,hard nose grinder type of coach, with common sense approach,wish him the best in the next series,get the Stanley Cup Paul.
As a Canes fan, I look forward to a Carolina v Florida ECF matchup. There are a lot of similarities between the two teams, but there are also differences. And I gotta love Maurice. He took the Canes to the cup finals back in ‘02 . And he coached all three of our coaches when they were players-that’s quite something to think about. I think this upcoming series will turn out to be very exciting. And if the Panthers manage to beat the Canes, then I will be rooting for them to win the cup. Respect all around. Cheers.
I think it will go seven games, ending in double overtime. This is the matchup the league didn’t want, but it will turn out to be the most exciting series (so far at least).
Just think of it. Last season, Paul Maurice quit as head coach of the Winnipeg Jets because Wheeler and Scheifele ran the asylum. Maurice then was lured out of retirement to take over from Andrew Brunette and when he learned that Huberdeau had been swapped for Matthew Tzachuk, people thought Maurice was a fool to have taken the job, but somehow Tzachuk respected Maurice.
from a bruins fan, rooting for the panthers. tkachuk is a menance, bob is back, it was heartbreaking to lose first round but they're really a good team
I think it's pretty clear who won the Calgary Florida Trade lol. Cant hate on Maurice he constantly delivers entertainment. Good job Florida, from a leafs fan.
Good job Panthers. It hurts but at the same time, it's nice seeing a guy like Maurice succeed. I've always liked him as a coach. I don't know what the future holds for you but for what you've accomplished, be happy.
Congrats, Panthers! Leafs fan here, but you guys have shown that you didn't win the President's Trophy last year by accident! That Florida forecheck is lethal. And it was fun hockey to watch since the Panthers don't sit back in the neutral zone.
What's really interesting is even if FLA doesn't win the upcoming series vs Carolina - Moe's fingerprints are all over the Canes organization. As a Canes fan I've never looked forward to a series more than this - I love Moe and the impact he's had on our org. May the best team and coaching staff win - its gonna be great! However this ends I will not be bitter at all - I will be happy for FLA and actually rooting for them in the finals if they win the series and move on and I will give due credit to Moe's influence on our org if we move on to the finals. I truly think this will be a better a series than the finals this year - whoever wins this I expect to take the whole enchilada in the finals.
Paul Maurice exacted revenge on the Leafs who fired him decades ago and he will face the Hurricanes who also fired him. As the NHL head coach with the most career losses, Maurice hopes to return to the Cup Final (his Hurricanes lost 4 games to 1 to the Red Wings).
As Sidney Crosby said to Nathan MacKinnon after Colorado won the cup, You need luck and the breaks as well as your total effort and talent to win the Stanley cup, Toronto has many more years to win it all. Most of these cup contenders are getting old and will retire, teams like Toronto, Edmonton, New Jersey etc will take their places and our time will come.
Listening to this man speak kills me that he was pushed out of Toronto! Imagine if he had the keys to this leaf team! Keefe isn’t even close to Paul Maurice! Good luck Florida. Tired of being a leaf fan man! 🥺😩
I think the city takes a lot of pressure off as well. Not only is the tax burden much less on the players in Florida, the city life is better and the politics makes the biggest difference, because it's not the big sport in Florida and there is much more to do outside of hockey and the pressers are far less intense. Take the pressure off and the guys will perform.
OMG!! Drop the puck already I wanna see Carolina and FLA go at it!!! Its gonna be one of the best series we have seen in a long, long, time. This is gonna be awesome and highly entertaining hockey.... And announcers, whoever you are covering these teams, you are now forced to talk about teams you don't like.... BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Hell of a win! Even after Toronto tied it, I just knew we would find a way to win it in OT. That's what we do. What an awesome team to watch.. proud panthers fan
So lets summarize a few things: 1) Michael Bunting high sticked and BLEEDING - only a 2 minute penalty 2) Matthew Knies injured by a Florida goon. No penalty. Knies knocked out of the series. 3) David Kampf was hit by Gudas like a freight train and send flying through the stands after the whistle. No penalty. Kampf gone to the dressing room. 4) Game #3 reffed by Wes MacAuley of all people, Leafs do not get a single power play. 5) Game #5 a power play is handed to Florida in OVERTIME of a series deciding game. 6) Game #5 An icing called against Toronto on a puck played by Bobrovsky. 7) And in Game #5 the mother of them all, which ultimately did decided the series as the game would not have gone to OT was Morgan Reilly's goal that was deemed not to be a goal. The Refs cited Rule 78. Play blown dead. HOW? WHY? Si if a player takes a shot from the blue line and scores can the refs now say, Oh yeah but we INTENDED to blow the whistle - Soooooo NO GOAL FOR YOU! What BS is that? I saw one camera angle which definitively did show that that puck had in fact crossed the line. It was a goal. The camera shot was to the right of Bob's pad. Since its all one continuous play there was no need to blow the whistle or justification to intend to blow the whistle. Even if Toronto had one Game 5, Florida was still the odds on favorite to win the series as they would be up 3-2 but holy crow it seemed very clear that there was a bias against the Leafs which played a part as to why they lost the series. All for losses were by just one goal. YES including Game #1 where Florida was about to win 3-2 with 5 seconds left.
@@flarrfan How is that the refs fault? Another idiot who cannot read. Where did I say not scoring was the refs fault? Bobrovsky stood on his head and played like a demon. That is why the Leafs could not score. 51 saves in Game 5? My point is that the refs helped Florida's offense by providing them with opportunity while depriving Toronto of any kind of edge, like no power plays in game 3 as one example or failing to call penalties against Florida when Leafs players were injured. What if the shoe was on the other foot? We take runs at Florida. Kill them and no penalty on the play. Your cool with that?
It's easy to feel cheated when only looking at one side of it, welcome to hockey. But you forgot the most important point in this series: 8) The Leafs suck
Maurice and panthers we're laughing at the leafs being so soft . Maurice still refers Boston as a tough series , No shit! Leafs were easy pickings. No fight no heart! no one sticks up for each other after someone get pasted to the boards! they leave their teammate laying on the ice. Nylander is usually the first one off the ice, auston picks sticks marner smiling, and Tavares needs a firm ware update Captain emotionless and cliche 'we have to learn from our mistakes!"
Wow he's such a breath of fresh air to listen to. No cliches or robotic answers. He really loves to coach.
Cooper's pretty good at avoiding cliches as well...
He's been a HC 5X.

His last comment about the guys being fun is definitely saying something about the locker room in Winnipeg.
Compare his answers to Keefe or Dubas and there's no comparison. So much insight and thought into everything Maurice says.
Dubas hiring all his buddies from the Greyhounds was such a mistake. This is the highest level in the world, and it shows when you watch how a guy like Keefe coaches versus Pomo and Cooper. Two different galaxies.
Three months ago a lot of Panthers fans wanted him fired :D
Good coach
Paul is a player's coach. Cares more about them than himself.
As much as it stings being a disappointed Toronto fan, Paul Maurice is a phenomenal coach and the Panthers deserve to be where they are.
As a NY Rangers fan I must say you this, he is definitely one smart and classy guy. Good Luck to the Panthers.
Love Paul! Great coach! .. former Wpg Jets fan.
I met Paul when he was still coaching the Toronto Marlies in 2005 nice man and good coach 👍
what a freken damn good coach
What a guy. Love him
my favvorite coach
What a guy, such a beauty
dude is so calculated…
I've read an article that said that Maurice was once a member of the coaching staff of Carolina when he was just starting.
He looks 10 years younger than he did yesterday.
Winning is his foundation of youth. Paul Maurice was the NHL youngest ever first time head coach with the Hurricanes.
When he coached Canadian teams he always seemed tense and guarded, but now he looks healthy relaxed and very happy with himself, hats Paul good job you deserve this
